About Rosetta

Dr. Rosetta Parker-Austin brings two decades of professional experience to her work supporting people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, career decisions, and coping with major life changes.

Background and approach

She also addresses issues related to LGBT identity, anger, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and coaching for professional growth. Her background includes helping clients manage complex concerns such as abandonment, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, communication and control issues, domestic violence, and feelings of isolation or purposelessness.

Dr. Parker-Austin practices with a collaborative, respectful stance that treats each person as the expert on their own story and draws out strengths to move toward meaningful change.

Her clinical toolkit includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). She is credentialed as an LPC and holds licensure in Georgia and South Carolina (SC LPC 8850; GA LPC LPC006118).

Clients seeking practical coping skills, clearer patterns of thought and behavior, or support navigating life transitions may find her integrative style helpful. She acknowledges the courage it takes to begin therapy and focuses on building strategies that fit each person’s goals and day-to-day realities.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Dr. Parker-Austin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, a practical approach often applied to anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying personal values and developing psychological flexibility so clients can act more consistently with what matters to them. In addition, her client-centered orientation emphasizes respectful listening and collaboration to tailor goals and interventions to each person's experience.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works together with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative exploration may combine elements from different modalities as appropriate, and clients are involved in shaping the plan of care.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats can make it easier to maintain continuity of care while fitting sessions into busy lives, and they allow licensed professionals to provide skills, feedback, and support without requiring in-person visits.
